(General Notes) In Note 10, attention is called to the rapid growth of the influence of the papacy in Europe; but since this note was written, quite a change has taken place in this respect, and the papacy has lost much ground, notably in France.WWPGC 36.6

In this same note, on page 687, statements are made on the authority of the Converted Catholic concerning former members of the President’s cabinet, which seem out of date at the present time. The same is true on statements on pages 688 and 689.WWPGC 36.7

Response: Criticism observed, but as the decision was to eliminate most of the General Notes, none of the material referred to was included in the 1911 edition.WWPGC 36.8
